Any way to recover video memory?



I have an HP 712 that I run headless. As far as I can tell, 8 MB of my
main memory has been allocated to the video card. If this is correct, is
there any way to completely disable video and recoup that memory? I am not
extremely experienced with the architecture of these machines, so bear with
me if this is a silly question. :)

thanks
